About
🎭 In every theater school, there is a cherished tradition: each year, actors present open showcases of their work. First come exercises, then short sketches, and finally — full performances.
It is a journey of growth, discovery, and true stage mastery.
“While leading acting classes at Scarlet Sails, I watched with wonder and pride as my actors, step by step, mastered the art of improvisation.
There came a moment when their sketches were no longer just training exercises — they became real scenes, full of meaning, emotion, and energy.
I felt it was a shame that I was the only one who had seen them.
So we decided to show the very best to you, our beloved audience,”
says Olga Sotiriadi, founder, director, and acting coach at Scarlet Sails.
🎭 12 acting miniatures — born in class and brought to stage perfection
💃 5 dance performances — from the brilliant Scarlet Sails dance ensemble, taking the stage in support of the actors
